The Bog

The last couple days have rocked pretty hard. I went with Mike down to the bog weight room on Wednesday and it is such a more chill atmosphere down there. It is also more serious, so I think I'm going to look into getting a membership for it. I don't have one at the moment, so technically I'm not supposed to go down there. :S I think you just have to write a workout that you are going to follow and submit it to the head of the gym for approval.

I also went through two midterms, math and physics, the start of an onslaught that doesn't end until after finals. I have to say the exams space themselves quite evenly, but that means I constantly have an exam for which to prepare. It turns out there was really considerate marking on my math midterm, so I lost few marks. I was dreading physics on friday, but it turned out to be simpler than I thought.

I have the piano room booked for two hours today, so maybe I can clutch up my skillz. Tonight there is something of a Valentine's party planned off the hill. Hopefully that will turn out to be fun. If not, I can always come back and watch Friends episodes :D.

February 8

is the date today and I have no idea why I chose today over any other day around it to post. Today I had my first midterm of the semester in Math 152. It went ok, but I made some silly mistakes.

Socially, university is great and I've made a few friends with whom I often hang and work out. Sometimes it gets a little too social and I find myself choosing to go produce nothing as opposed to working on some homework or studying. Of course, I'd have to say I prefer this than to not having anybody to do anything with. A lot of people think it is ridiculous to enjoy going to the gym so much, but I feel so content after a good work out.

It is difficult to get down to studying when there is no pressure, such as an upcoming exam or homework to do. I've been getting into friends a lot. I've watched the first 4 seasons since the start of the semester and I'm hooked. Unfortunately, my friend's collection ends at season 5. In return I've lent my Smallville to numerous people and it turns out I know someone who was in one of the football episodes. Due to a combination of people I've also gotten into Dream Theater. Incidentally, I went to HMV the other day to buy a DVD of theirs, but when I got it back home it was missing a disc so I have to return it.

Today there were tables set up in the AQ giving information about different majors and the requirements for them. I picked up brochures for majors in actuarial science, molecular biology & biochemistry, chemistry and statistics. It seems weird to be thinking so far ahead, but a lot of the prerequisites, I need to take now. General math, physics, chemistry, biology and economics pretty much leaves my options open to anything I would get a degree in so I'm all good for now; however, the sooner I choose, the fewer crap courses I can take. My only really crappy course now is BISC 102 where we are learning about evolution, taxonomy and ecosystems. Shoot me.

Anyhow, it's a friends birthday today, so I gtg.
